hey got my truck lifted a while back.
Its a Duramax CC short bed.
Just curious how much bolt tread you guys have exposed on the keys?
I have 6" pro-comp with factory keys.
Thanks.

Bolt thread has no relation to how far you are lifted due to every truck is different. What are you looking for?

I understand bolt thread has not much difference as every truck is different as far as lift but what about the same truck between torsion bars? ie I noticed on my truck the passendger side torsion key bolt has alot of threads left before bottoming out but the drivers side is almost bottemd out, a significant difference between the two, now I know the fuel cell and driver both sit on the drivers side so I was thinkng this was a normal preload, but I guess I am just wondering if this is normal and my inferences are correct.

Yes...Left to Right side and truck to truck it will all not reflect the exact same. The torsion bars adjust per load and that is why you see that to make a truck sit left to right level the torsion adjuster bolts will be different.

Pretty common to have to crank the driver side more than the passenger side to level GM trucks side to side. Don't know why, it's just the way it is.

what average on thread lenght?

what average on thread lenght?


again there is no average. every truck will be different. What are you trying to do and maybe there is a better way to check your truck and find the answer to what you are looking for.

I think he should consider the CV or A-arm angle. There are lots of issues around how much angle you have. GM designed the short arm/long arm suspension to change the camber as the suspension cycles for proper handling. If you change that range of motion (starting point, etc) then you change how the camber reacts. I ran a 1998 with a 6" procomp and I had the bars cranked way up. My inside front tire would lean over real bad and squeal when cornering. I found that it handled much better when I lowered the bars so that the a-arm angle was closer to stock.
